Budapest’s Danube embankment to be beautifully renewed – PHOTOS
Change language:
The government’s ambitious aim is to crowd the cars out from the embankments of the Danube River in Budapest. The plans are not new, and experts hope that they can help reconnect the people of Budapest with the river. The day before yesterday, some new photos were published about how the Pest embankments would look, which we share in the article below.
According to budapestkornyeke.hu, cyclists and pedestrians will benefit from the developments while car owners would like them less.
The work started in 2013, Dávid Vitézy, the director of the Budapest Development Centre (BFK), revealed in one of his Facebook posts published recently. However, nothing happened for a long time. In October 2020, the state secretary for developments in the capital and its agglomeration, Balázs Fürjes, proposed to take the project out from the issues the government and the leadership of Budapest debated on. He added that
the government would finance the project based on the plans made before.
They had been negotiating about the details for half a year, but it is now official that the work can continue.
Gergely Karácsony, lord mayor of Budapest, Gergely Gulyás, Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, and Balázs Fürjes signed an agreement in which the government guaranteed to finance the development of the Danube embankment on the Pest side.
